About Me

Hi, I’m Dr. Morgan Stanley, the physical therapist, coach, and founder behind Bookends Rehab & Performance. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, looking to crush your next PR, or just want to keep beating your kids at pickleball, I’m here to help you move better, feel stronger, and stay unstoppable.

Why 'Bookends'?

The name "Bookends" comes from my belief that every great performance journey needs a strong foundation at the start and an even stronger finish. I’m here to support you every step of the way, whether you’re bouncing back from an injury or pushing toward your peak performance.

Bookends Process

Achieving your goals doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s how we’ll make it happen:

  • It all starts with understanding.


    We’ll take a deep dive into where you’re at—your movement patterns, strengths, and areas for improvement. Whether you’re dealing with pain or just aiming to level up, this step helps us pinpoint exactly what’s holding you back and what’s possible moving forward.

  • A roadmap built for you.


    Once we’ve got the full picture, I’ll design a personalized plan tailored to your needs and goals. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s a strategy that evolves as you do, balancing rehab, performance, and life.

  • Time to crush it.


    With the plan in motion, we’ll work together to help you rebuild, train, and perform at your best. You’ll move better, feel stronger, and dominate the gym, the court, or wherever life takes you.
